TourStack plans college visits around the tours colleges actually run. We read the published campus tour and information-session schedules of about 1,700 US colleges, straight from each college's own visit pages, and refresh them every day. Every time links to that college's registration page. TOURS NEAR YOU Type your ZIP and see every college within about an hour's drive that runs a tour this week, nearest first, with the drive time and the next tour times. COPILOT Say which colleges you want to see — "Tufts, Brandeis and BC in one day" — and Copilot finds a date they all run tours, picks which session to attend at each, orders the stops and works out the driving. You get the day on a map: when to leave, each tour, the drive between them, when you're home, and a link to register at every college. Ask it to add a college or move the date and it re-plans. EVERY COLLEGE, FREE Admissions (admit rate, SAT and ACT ranges, deadlines), cost and net price, financial aid, graduation rates and earnings, admissions and cost trends over the years, campus life, safety, history and the practical side of visiting. College data comes from the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard and the colleges themselves. MY COLLEGES Save colleges as you browse. See each one's next tour, how many are coming up, its admit rate, SAT and net price. Mark where you are with each — visit planned, visited, applying, applied, accepted — keep notes, sort the list and compare up to four side by side. CHANGE ALERTS, FREE Sign in with your email (no password) and turn on alerts: we email you when a college you follow changes its tours, deadlines or fees. Your colleges, notes and alerts stay in sync with tourstack.app. TRIPS See the days when your saved colleges all run tours, so one drive covers several campuses. TOURSTACK PRO Free shows tours for the next 7 days. Pro opens the full caough the season — plus nearby colleges you can see the sameday and every date your saved colleges line up. Monthly or annual subscription, renewing automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage it in your Apple ID settings.
